recently repeatedly give most lusty chase after
a sly old red fox which for several years has
continued to eude the utmost vigor of hound
and man. This animal ranges in the neighbor-

limb caused by being thrown or otherwise hurt
in the mad pursuit of flying reynard.

his little hostess. When introduced
as "a wire grass boy" he greeted YOUR
'Yours is n noble country. No better soldiers
were sent than the men from wire grass Geor-
gia."
From that the talk drifted into general
topics, and Mr.. Davis expressed himself as de-
lightfully gratified with his reception at Macon.
He is looking bright and cheerful, and
although sensational reports were sent out to
certain northern papers last night that he
was dead, he is one OF the liveliest men
of his age in Georgia. and it is
the devout wish of the people of Georgia that
he may live for many years yet.
